Son, girlfriend arrested after crashing at mom's

Larry Leroy Thornbury, who has been arrested for public intoxication at least 21 times, was arrested on a felony charge of residential entry and a misdemeanor charge of criminal trespass after his mother found him sleeping on the living room floor of her house.

Victoria White, 1609 N. Elm St., told police she walked into her home around 6 p.m. Wednesday and found her 46-year-old son asleep. She immediately left and called police. She told them she had kicked her son out because he was drunk all the time and she warned him she would call the police if ever came back.

Muncie police officer Ryan McCorkle entered the residence and found the naked Thornbury asleep under a SpongeBob SquarePants blanket. The suspect's girlfriend, Kelli Jo Pajari, 53, 1312 W. 13th St., was eating a bowl of soup at the kitchen table. She was charged with felony burglary, felony theft and misdemeanor criminal trespassing.

Thornbury told police he lived with his mother and received his mail there. He allegedly smelled strongly of alcohol.

According to court records, Thornbury has been arrested for public intoxication in Delaware County 21 times; 12 of the arrests resulted in convictions. He also has been convicted of felony possession of a controlled substance, two batteries, criminal conversion, and four resisting law enforcement charges.
